HIGHLIGHTS: Alain Lam - CFO of Xiaomi

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody and welcome to In Good Company. I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, and I'm in today I'm in particularly good company with the CFO of Siaomi, Alain Lemm. Hello Nikola, thanks for having me.

Now, uh, Ala Saomi is just uh an incredible company with phones, cars, humanoids. Um, you know, we are the lucky owner of uh more than 1% of the company. So um just tell us, uh, what do you do and um and how did it all happen? Well, thanks Nikola, thanks for the question uh and good to be here. So first of all, Xiaomi is still a very young company.

We just turned 16. We were founded in April 6 on April 6, 2010. And since then we have done a lot, as you mentioned. But ultimately, I think we think of ourselves as a global technology company. Obviously, we have smartphones, we have a lot of smart devices, plus recently we have smart electric vehicles.
